Confident colour, expressive interiors and a century of history give Red Gables a personality entirely its own. Set on over an acre and well back from Vincent Street North, this beautifully transformed Daylesford residence pairs an eclectic design sensibility with generous accommodation and a wonderfully private outlook across Doctors Gully.
Behind its distinctive red façade, the home unfolds over two levels, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms offering exceptional flexibility for family life, weekends with friends or guest accommodation. A series of beautifully composed spaces includes a generous lounge, dining room, gallery and a separate retreat or home office, providing places to gather as well as quiet corners to enjoy alone.
The interiors are bold, sophisticated and deeply inviting. Vibrant colours, distinctive finishes and carefully curated furniture and lighting bring individuality to every room, while timber floors and quality carpets add warmth and texture. The transformation celebrates the home’s history while giving it a fresh and unmistakably contemporary character.
Designed for those who love to entertain, the superbly appointed kitchen features Miele appliances, including two ovens, an induction cooktop and warming drawer. Two dishwashers and a butler’s sink bring everyday practicality, while a cocktail bar with a wine fridge sets the scene for long lunches and evenings with friends. The bedrooms continue the home’s individual approach to comfort. A deep freestanding bath adds a luxurious dimension to the main bedroom, while the largest bedroom offers a big-screen movie experience. Four bathrooms make hosting family and guests equally comfortable.
Outside, the broad veranda is a natural place to settle in as the sun drops over Doctors Gully. Leafy views and expansive grounds create a sense of seclusion, with no overlooking and plenty of space to enjoy the setting.
Comfort and efficiency have been carefully considered, with a glass-fronted fireplace, ducted heating and cooling with temperature sensors, 10kW solar power, and underfloor and roof insulation. A comprehensive security system and smart speakers add further convenience.
Close to Daylesford’s shops, galleries, celebrated restaurants and lakes, Red Gables offers a compelling balance of privacy, personality and connection to village life. Equally suited to a distinctive permanent home, a generous country escape or buyers exploring guest accommodation opportunities, this is a property with style, substance and a memorable sense of occasion.
